As per https://github.com/appsignal/appsignal-docs/pull/1294, we should be supporting Python 3.7 and above. Currently we're only really running tests on Python 3.9 to 3.11. I recall the tests didn't run in earlier versions, but I don't think I took a close look at why: https://github.com/appsignal/appsignal-python/blob/main/.semaphore/semaphore.yml

We may have to not use some cool typing features to support Python 3.7. TypedDict is a Python 3.8 feature. Unpack is a Python 3.11 feature. (Which makes me wonder how the tests are passing on 3.9 🤔) I can live with that.

The packages we publish already claim to work with those versions.

To do

  • Figure out what changes need to be done to support Python 3.8
  • Add those versions to the Semaphore test matrix

We can choose to not support Python 3.7. It's being dropped next month anyway.
We can also choose to only support the most recent ones since it's a new release on our part.
